Greetings,

In a previous issue of TechieTalk, we gave an overview of Managed Services and how proactive, preventative maintenance of your IT can prevent many computer problems from occurring. In this issue we are going to dig deeper and get into a more in-depth look at Managed Services, exactly what it consists of and what you can expect from a Managed Service Contract.

We invite you to send us an email with your IT related question. We may feature your issue in our next newsletter.

Until next month, happy computing!

Managed Services - a Closer Look
 TechieTalk Just like your vehicle needs preventive maintenance - like regular oil changes - to keep it running smoothly, your computers also need preventive maintenance. Ever wondered, “What types of things do IT professionals do to prevent my computer from going down?” . A Managed Services provider, such as Ivascu, we use a series of Best Practices for:
  • Spyware Protection and Removal
  • Virus Protection
  • Disk Drive Analysis
  • Security Patch Management
  • Application Usage
  • System Auditing
  • Backup and Disaster Recovery
  • User Policy Enforcement
  • A variety of other automated procedures to ensure your systems are running and your people are productive
These tasks can be automated on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule to ensure that they are completed and reported consistently without fail. These tasks allow us to gather data and spot trends and patterns that allow us to prevent potential problems and issues.

When a problem does occur, wouldn’t it be nice to get it fixed immediately? Remote access makes this possible. By being able to access and fix your computer remotely, your IT professional can cut down on costs and downtime. No more wasted time waiting for the "computer guy" to arrive while he bills you for his travel time.

Managed Service Contracts enable you to control your expenditures by providing consistent service and costs. By consistently maintaining your systems, you will prevent major problems and costs from occurring. Your company will know how much you will be spending on IT each month – thereby avoiding surprise expenditures and billings.
